MORRISTOWN — A Superior Court judge today kept bail at $750,000, with no 10 percent option, for a 23-year-old Morristown man charged with attempted murder in the shooting of an unidentified man inside a car during a robbery on Jan. 31 in Morristown.

Brandon Johnson is also accused of robbing a second person in the car during an incident on Lincoln Street that allegedly involved marijuana. Johnson was also charged with conspiracy to possess marijuana, along with four weapons charges and two counts of first-degree robbery.

Johnson was arrested on Thursday after an investigation by the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and the Morristown Police Department, acting County Prosecutor Fredric Knapp said in a statement.

A complaint signed by prosecutor’s Detective Supervisor Christoph Kimker identified the two victims only by their initials. The victim of the alleged murder attempt was shot in the leg during the late-afternoon incident and treated at Morristown Medical Center, Knapp said.

Morris County Assistant Prosecutor Sahil Kabse argued in court today that the $750,000 bail was “appropriate” for attempted murder. He said Johnson previously pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated assault in Morris County and has additional weapons charges pending involving a knife in Morris County and a gun in Essex County.

Johnson, appearing via closed-circuit television from the Morris County jail, said he is not guilty.

“I told them they have the wrong person. I’m being accused of something I have nothing to do with,” he said, calling the $750,000 bail “outrageous.”

Discussing his aggravated assault conviction, Johnson said he stopped a man who “was beating on his girlfriend in my house.”

However, Judge Mary Gibbons Whipple declined to lower the bail, pointing out that Johnson is facing “very serious charges” and has a criminal record.
